Alessandra Bridal & Formal

all different price ranges. They really have something for everyone! The staff was always so kind and helpful during each one of my fittings and made sure I was completely happy with my dress after any alterations were made. I highly recommend!

I wanted an A-line, long sleeved dress with lace and they certainly delivered. Aziza knew exactly what dress to pick out and I ended up going home with the first dress I tried on. Linda from alterations was amazing! They added length to lace sleeves and you would never know. At my last fitting, Alessandra was there with some great advice to wear my veil below my ears, so it didn't overtake the picture as my now husband and I are the same height. I was able to return today and get my dress persevered. This is truly a great store to buy your wedding dress from!

dresses and by the 3rd dress, that was it. These ladies that work in this store love what they do and it shows in their customer service. 👏 👏

ice went down hill. I had 2 dress fittings and each time I arrived for my scheduled appointment, they seemed as if they didn’t check the schedule for the day and they were surprised I was there. They appeared inconvenienced and were quiet rude through out the process. Also go somewhere else for alterations! I was charged $500 for alterations on a $900 dress! I needed minimal work done. It needed to be hemmed, sewn in bra cups, and added buttons to my dress to bustle my veil. I was SHOCKED! Of course I was shown the bill after they had already cut off the bottom of my dress and it was too late to go back. The receptionist commented that I was told it would be this amount upon purchasing the dress. However, it was never explained to me or my mom who was with me. I get it’s a business and they have to make money somehow but over half in alterations is outrageous! Especially because I had MINIMAL work done to it. It fit like a glove the first time I tried it on. I typically don’t write reviews, I’m usually just the one to read them all. But I want to warn future brides to take their dress some where else for alterations!!!

andras, and I'm SO glad I did! My dress was amazing, the seamstresses take pride and really care about their work, and they worked on a payment plan with us so I could have the dress of my dreams.

th me to make sure it matched the color of the Bridesmaid dresses! I was so happy with how my dress turned out and I received so many complements on it! Highly recommend!

ridal shop. This was our second shop. She had a dress that she liked at the previous store but couldnt try it on because it was tiny. After several dresses at Alessandra’s (maybe 5) the lady Darlene was becoming impatient becus the other dresses hadnt compared yet in her eyes. Darlene asked to see the picture to see if they had anything similar -which they did not. As my sister was speaking to us, Darlene stepped inside the dressing room with another worker complaining about my sister, “well if thats the way shes going to be, she just needs to go back to that other store and get that dress.” Mind you, my sister was very sweet, indecisive but never complained once. After my sister finally said she wasnt in love, the lady helped her out of the dress and came out complaining to the other lady that “nope, didnt like it. Appointments over.” All of this was said within 5 ft of us which was incredibly rude. Her tone of voice was unbelievable! After this, we went straight to BellaBridal and had a great appointment! With lots of selection and amazing customer service from all consultants there!

a's. Everyone at Alessandra's was great - they were patient, thoughtful, and helped me to get exactly the dress that I wanted. I chose a dress with a low back and straps because I loved the details and overall look of it, though I was hoping for a strapless dress. They made my vision come true, as they were able to create a more supportive back and a sweetheart neckline. It was absolutely stunning and perfect!

, and was very kind. This boutique is also really cute, offered a nice shopping experience, and had some very nice dresses available for less than 1K. Dress alterations: The boutique was accommodating of my scheduling constraints. Because I do not live in Detroit, they were willing to condense my fittings into a single long weekend. They were hesitant to let me do alterations 4 months before the event (trying to save me from myself, I think), but ultimately they let me do what I wanted. The day of, the dress was perfect. It fit me perfectly, and was comfortable all day.

first dress she picked for me! I was so in love with my dress. They even gave me a bottle of champagne for saying yes to the dress! They were extremely accommodating with me living out of state. When I went for my fitting, my flight got delayed by a day but they were still able to see me once I got into town! All of my alterations were done perfectly and they took the time to show my bridesmaids how to bustle my dress (thank you!). I will definitely be recommending Aziza and Alessandra bridal to all my soon-to-be bride friends! <3

uld not been in business. My dress was not altered correctly and I informed them of this and they didn’t listen. On the day of my wedding it was evident that the bodice didn’t fit correctly and was still sagging. I regret choosing this store to purchase my dress or brides maid dresses. Do not make the same mistake I made. Go somewhere else

ur wedding dress and alterations.

ssandra and one of the seamstresses (I didn’t catch her name, so sorry!) figures out how to create without even having to add anything to the dress. Everything turned out great, thank you!

ed. I highly recommend trusting them with your dresses!!

d her a picture. She pulled out a dress that was almost identical to it! As soon as I put it on I knew it was the one. She was so friendly, so accommodating, and made myself and my entourage feel so comfortable. She really wants her brides to feel beautiful and be happy. Thank you Aziza!!

ery time i had a suggestion or comment the seamstress was not interested in making the changes. The dress was 10 sizes too big. We altered the top but the bottom was obviously a lot larger than I wanted. The last fitting i was so frustrated i just said i was fine and left. In the end the dress was gorgeous i just wished the seamstress was nicer and altered the dress the way i wanted it done.

I liked were available here. I had a very tight budget- I wanted to spend $1,000 or less on a gown. I knew that would be tricky. Azzizah was my consultant. I told her my budget, and she started to grab gowns for me. She found the PERFECT dress that was under $1,000 AND exactly the style that I wanted. I was so excited! I went to a few other stores that day, just to make sure, but I knew that dress was the one. I ended up calling Alessandra Bridal back that same day and ordering the dress. My alteration appointments started in July. It was pricey, I ended up paying over $500 for alterations but honestly I know that is pretty common. There was work to do: the hem, adjusting the bust and adding a modesty layer (my choice! alterations would have been cheaper without it, but I wanted it). Darlene and Cree both helped me during my visits, along with Alessandra, the owner. Everyone was great. There was only one visit, the second alterations visit, where I felt a little uncomfortable. I felt rushed through the process and was not spoken to very kindly. But I think they were having a stressful day. My last and final visit was yesterday and the dress was absolutely beautiful. They really did great work making sure it fit to my body. This time I felt much more comfortable, even though the store was really busy, they gave me a lot of attention to make sure I was good with my dress before I took it home. I am so thankful to Azzizah for helping me find my dream dress. I have read a few negative reviews about the attitude of some of the consultants- I definatley saw that side come out a little bit, but they are a business. They are there to make a sale, not to make friends. In the end though, it is obvious they care about the brides and want them to be happy. I am glad I went to Alessandra and although I probably could have gotten the alterations done somewhere else for a much cheaper price, I am so happy with the way my dress came out that I don't regret it.

r the course of the weekend she was in Detroit. Alessandra's was so supportive! I explained the style and type of dress I was looking for, showed them a couple of pictures and they pulled out a couple of dresses - all which were awesome. The second I put my wedding dress on I burst into tears and they were so sweet and loving. Every time I went back they remembered me and met me with smiles and warmth. I would send anyone to Alessandra Bridal!

s soon as I tried it on I knew. My dress was so beautiful and perfect! The care they took to make sure it was a prefect fit and I was happy really far surpassed my expectations. Alexandra's is full of caring helpful employees and I'm so thankful to have found them!

to find my dress there and I did! When I explained what I was looking for she walked right over and pulled the special dress. She helped me try on some others but it ultimately came down to that first dress, I was in love. Thank you Cree for all of your help! You and the rest of the staff there are amazing. And, I forgot to mention they were able to stay within my budget. If your shopping or getting ready to shop bridal I would definitely recommend coming here. 5 stars all the way!

e feel comfortable. I am beyond grateful for my experience and incredibly excited to make MY dress the perfect fit for the perfect day. Cree was also a big help in holding tight and accessories. Very highly recommend these girls and this shop! I will be bragging to everyone I know :)

I had a dress that I saw online that she pulled for me along with some others she thought I might like. From the moment I tried that first dress on, I knew it was the one! She was able to answer all of my questions regarding alterations and what next steps I needed to take. I can't wait to work with her and the team there to make my day everything I ever wanted!! Thanksagain to Alessandra's

was soooo AMAZING and her name was Cree. She is absolutely overall the best. I went to this place with really an open mind on what I wanted and Cree was so helpful and super friendly. I tried on a lot of dresses and Cree never once got made or frustrated instead she helped me with a big smile. She is so professional, nice and she really takes your ideas along with her own and makes your dress shopping experience the best. Cree knows what she is talking about so trust her and her judgment. Overall this place was so wonderful especially Cree and I can't Waite for my wedding day so everyone can see my perfect dress from Alessandra Bridal. Thank you Cree for everything, your so amazing!

one there from the owner to the seamstresses really know what they are doing. I felt confident with my alterations and suggestions they made. I can not thank them enough for making my wedding dress dreams come true. I would recommend them to everyone.

ped me find my dream dress! She heard what I liked and put me in a champagne satin trumpet dress that just... wow! Never did I imagine that would be the style I would fall in love with. She just got me! From there, alterations were amazing! There wasn't a fitting that I went to that Alessandra wasn't there giving her final approval on everything. They listened and worked with me- even going as far as changing my bustle 3 times. My dress fit me like a glove and I left there on my last appointment with well wishes and hugs from all of the staff. This is truly an amazing shop and I recommended them to all brides !!!

ith me throughout the alteration process as I wanted to make sure that the dress fit me perfectly; as did they. Thank you to Alessandra's and your entire team!

respectful and professional to me and my bridesmaids. I found Alessandra from searching online and was a little weary at first about the mixed reviews. From my initial contact with Vicki I knew I was in the best hands possible. The customer service they provide is unlike any other! Very quick to respond to emails and super flexible when it came to ordering. I had a last minute bridesmaid add on and Vicki made it seem like no big deal at all. All our dresses came in on time and they were gorgeous! Their prices are super reasonable and their customer service is out of this world! Go to Alessandra and talk to Vicki! She will help you with whatever you need! They treat you like family here!

nd has absolutely no compassion or respect for her brides. She is willing to stop at nothing just to put an extra dollar in her pocket. I honestly don't know how she lives with herself. No morals. No ethics. No heart. For all you brides-to-be, I pray that you do not make the same mistake I did by going to Alessandra's. They will be sure to ruin the biggest day of your life with no remorse! Do your research before you even consider buying from them, or at least check out their recently featured on WXYZ news

fore Alessandra's calling me fat I showed up here a little run down and done for the day. Then I met Darlene and Aziza and they turned everything around for me. They made it a fun visit and they picked dresses that would compliment me, since I am plus size and told them that in the phone call making the appointment. Anyway I found my dress and although I told my girls I was not going to buy that day no matter what, the team at Alessandra's made it so great for me I couldn't say no and bought my dress right then and there. LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3

ng. The top of my dress had a see through part and it irritated my skin. I pointed this out on the first visit and The seamstress came out and told me they have a way to fix that and it won't alter the look of the dress. When i went in for my first fitting nothing had been done to that part yet. I asked about it so the owner came out and told me what my options are. All of which were going to alter the look of the dress. They wanted to put a peice of fabric behind it, but then that part wasn't going to be see through so all the beautiful beading and lace was not going to be seen. I asked for another option since i was promised something that would not alter the dress appearance and would not irritate my skin all night. I was told about a wax but it will only work for 1 hour avid then it will rub off with my skin oil. I was not very happy and told her what i was promised before i paid for the dress. THE OWNER said i was out of luck and acting like a child. so of course i was frustrated and reemphasized what i was told and promised. She did not care and had no problem telling me that. After that i tried to just work with my consultant Cree. Cree was amazing the whole time! So i ended up with a semi see through top because i was cornered into it after signing a contract at payment. All because i trusted their word. Mean while the dress was beautiful and made my now husband so happy.! We had an amazing wedding, but i will always have the image of me crying in my wedding dress! A once on a lifetime experience that was somewhat ruined by a woman that just didn't care as long as she gets paid.

style and budget. If you're looking to get a wedding gown (or otherwise) Alessandra Bridal has great service staff to help you with what you're looking for, but I highly recommend you go somewhere else for alterations. From my first fitting until my last the feel-good bride experience declined. The seamstresses aren't great at communicating the reasons why different parts of the dress should (or shouldn't) be altered, and I felt pressured into certain alterations I didn't need to spend money on. Their rates for alterations are pretty standard, but by my last fitting I felt like I ended up paying hundreds of dollars for shoddy workmanship. When I went to pick up my dress two days before the wedding, I asked to try it on and I'm so glad I did! There were still a lot of straight pins in the skirt and it took them over an hour to go through it, re-press it, and get it ready on the body form for me to take home. They also removed the straps on the inside, so I wasn't able to get a picture of it hanging properly on a hanger and had a hard time pinning it back on the body form the day after the wedding to get it back home. While a minor inconvenience, I was never asked and it was never communicated to me that that's what they were doing. Also, while I understand there are some parts of a dress that can't be machine-sewn, the hand-stitching was coming apart pretty badly by the end of the wedding night there were threads poking out all along the bust line. I know it's a one-day only kind of outfit, but it made me feel like my money and time spent there were highly devalued. Overall, I can recommend Alessandra Bridal for purchasing dresses only -- they keep you within budget and actually make finding "the one" a lot of fun! I never felt rushed and was always accommodated when I wanted to try on "just one more". I can NOT recommend them for alterations. You'll have much better luck going with a seamstress who is passionate about making brides look their best, instead of trying to get some extra bang out of the couple's wedding budget.

t only do they have beautiful gowns, but the service is phenomenal. Each person I have worked with is so enthusiastic, happy and helpful. Not to mention that they know what they are talking about. I felt 100% comfortable with every suggestion/tip/alteration, and if I still had questions? They were happy and patient to answer. Throughout every step of the process (trying on, decision making, alterations, follow-up,and everything in between), they are truly masters at what they do. It has been a very special experience going there with my Mom and Nana throughout all of the fittings, and I can't say thank you enough to everyone at Alessandra's for helping us make these memories!

experience the most perfect one. I couldn't thank her enough for showing me the dress that she did! Thanks ladies, you are just absolutely wonderful, and I am so glad I stopped in that day!

asked to try on more, she looked at us and said I have nothing else for you to try on. I am sorry but if I am going to spend 2,000.00 dollars on a dress I want to make a good decision. there customer service is so bad, I would not recommend anyone there!

andra Bridal. I went in and the owner and the head semstress worked with me to figure out how we could make the dress I bought into my dream dress. I brought some lace from my mother's veil and they draped it all over to try to figure out how we could make my vision a reality. I went back for 2 more fittings and when I picked up the final dress I couldn't have been happier! They tuned my halter neck, key hole back dress into a short sleeved, deep V back dress! It was amazing the work they did! If you are looking to have a dress customized, I highly recommend Alessandra Bridal!

ing every time I went in, it was like I was apart of their family. Great price too. very reasonable and quality is great.

d found a Sophia Tolli gown online that the Alessandra Bridal had, so I called to try it on. When I got into the store the lady Rene who was helping me told me they had the gown in stock but that she had a dress she thinks I'd like better. And she was right! I ended up purchasing a GORGEOUS Private Label by G dress by Kenneth Winston. This dress was a fitted mermaid gown with beautiful beading and a dramatic flare. I couldn't believe that all it cost me including alterations, the slip and bustier that the shop provided, was $1200! I was thrilled! The shop is slightly small, but they have tons of selections, styles, and price ranges. My limit was $2000, and obviously I spent far less than that. But they have dresses ranging from $1000-$8000. The staff is very friendly and helpful, from the receptionist all the way to the owner, Alessandra, and they are familiar with servicing all religions and ethnic backgrounds. The tailoring is impeccable and done in house. I am very pleased with experience here, and I highly recommend them to anyone on a budget who still wants a stunning gown!

t I wanted and I could not be happier!

didn't feel like a confining dress and I never thought about needing to take it off to feel comfortable. The staff was amazing and so sincere with each fitting. They are extremely busy, all the time, but do not make you feel like you are a bother. Vicki was my touchstone after Nina went on leave and she was so attentive to my questions and scheduling. Alessandra would confirm every part of the fitting to make sure nothing was lost in translation. My favorite part of the alterations were the sleeves they custom made to attach to the strapless dress. They made them detachable because I couldn't make up my mind. So creative and thoughtful so I would love it, and I did!! They may be in an unassuming strip mall but renowned. I'm so glad I am part of their history now.

get a little crowded in there. The pricing is a little high, but they will usually throw in an extra or two and try to work with you. The alterations turned out wonderful and my dress was gorgeous and fit like a glove! We also purchased the bridesmaid dresses here due to the discount that they gave for purchasing my dress there. Loved the dresses although the alterations were a little pricy. I recommend finding another tailor if you do get your bridesmaid dresses here.

e were treated horribly! If you don't get your wedding dress here than don’t bother even looking here. I didn’t get my dress here because when I was there the customer service was awful! I had a scheduled appointment and they didn’t even bother to help me with the bridal dresses. After trying on two dresses I got dressed and left! The only reason we went back for the girl’s dresses was because they had the best prices and even that shopping experience was horrid. They once again paid no attention to me or my girls and we ended up doing everything ourselves. Even though I had a scheduled appointment for six girls they still made the girls share one tiny closet of a changing room. Even the girls fittings where bad, and it was like they were trying to get every penny out of the girls they could and in the end my girls dresses where all too tight because the seamstress took them in when they didn’t need to be even after the girls told them not to take it in there. I would give them a zero if it were possible. Not to mention the entire place looks old and dirty and their samples look like they should have been replaced years ago and they are supposedly NEW? This place needs a major overhaul in customer service and appearance!

ey took my dress IN when they weren't supposed to. It all worked out in the end. I bought my wedding day jewelry there and also my veil and my flower I wore in my hair.

s the sweetest lady in the world and a big help. My dress was basically made from scratch and it turned out better then I could have imagined.

re than welcome. I guess my positives experiences are solely to blame on Sally. She truly felt like someone I knew for a very long time, much like family. She insisted I try on a dress I absolutely hated and of course its the one I ended up getting! As far as my fittings and alterations go nothing went wrong. I know this is the problem area for most. The only snag I had was that I was told to buy a certain size of bustier and then I was told it was too big despite not loosing or gaining any weight since I purchased my dress. I would recommend the shop because of the number of beautiful dresses and prices.
